Topic: Analog Lab 1.1 (Read 9778 times)

Ok, tried Beta 8 and finally was able to check the PitchBend-related fix and now there's an issue on (apparently) all instruments when reaching Max PitchBend (+100%), it's jumps to -100%, resuming from +100% (+99.9%?) down to 0% when returning the pitchbend to neutral/middle position.

Tried this with various Sound and Multi presets and all had this behavior.

(Running the VST 32bit under Live 8.4.1)

btw, I have a suggestion which I think I've mentioned a few times during 1.0.x betas: The Preset list should be presented sorted by Rating at least by default after install.This would allow you to control the (1st) User experience when trying Analog Lab for the 1st time.

I'm saying this because the 1st presets, sorted by Name, aren't really highly representative of the playability of Arturia synths. Arturia should carefully select a few, maybe the top20 presets on both Sound and Multi and use the Rating as the way to influence that 1st user experience through sorting by Rating.

Same issue with the Mod Wheel even though, by its nature, not noticeable on many presets.

For instance, Multi: 8th Place Glory or harder to check on Multi: Carousel unless you split it, then you'll notice it on the SEM V preset part

Sound: 1601 Bass (odd name for that sound, btw) or Sound: Bass Suburban will easily demo the issue with Mod Wheel too.

1) The Search knob isn't working properly under Live 8.4.1 (but works fine with AL's Standalone), meaning, rotating right (B0 70 01 hex MIDI) it'll only go to CS-80 V in the Data Filters section. Rotating it left (B0 70 41) will go back to ARP2600 V.Could Live be doing some MIDI filtering, like ignoring repeated (MIDI) byte sequences?Just tried also with Analog Laboratory and Analog Factory in Live and it suffers from the same issue (which I was convinced was working, at least at some point in time)

2) When in Multi:Multi, Search (i.e. Filtering) isn't supported (unless I'm missing something), even though it would still be useful to filter by Genre at least.

3) When Multi:Sound, Data Filters would definitely be as useful as in Sound mode.

So, if there's no firmware update planned for the older controllers (like my Factory) using this type of relative inc/dec format (+1/-1 instead of +n/-n deltas), I'm "stuck" with using a workaround to get this one to work with Live. Ah well... could be worse
